Back in Brisbane
When I was 17 I went to Brisbane to go to school for 6 months. At the time I wanted to get away from dull, dark Germany. Being a teenager did not help my discomfort. I missed life in English. I missed the sun. I wanted to go to Florida because America was a thing at the time, but if I remember correctly the organisation I went with could not find a host family, so they suggested Australia. Brisbane it was. There were three other German girls aside from me going to my school. I did not meet any other Germans. Today Australia is full of Germans and Europeans. Travellers and expats. Which makes it feel less far away.
The city has grown a bit. It is beautiful. I loved reconnecting.
